Nothing more. He did not know any of the other participants except for the friend that came with him. Most importantly. Edwin is a human being and he has a heart. He had no malice or ill intentions towards mr. green or his family whatsoever. When he started drivers range rovers stopped on the road. He pulled his bike over to decide and he walked over to where the accident had occurred to see what had happened and -- tried to encourage people to move on. And keep writing.
